Author Topic: Myspace Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 09-01-2005 05:04 AM                     Many people here might have one of these, and I was just courious who did and didn't. I just recently aquired one, and it can me seen at www.myspace.com/filmhandler  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-01-2005 05:39 AM                     Nice idea except that I can barely read the white type on my LCD computer monitor. You may want to consider making it a bit more readable... unless of course there is stuff there that you don't want us to read..... Mark  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-01-2005 07:41 AM                        I've got 2 of those thingys.... sort of annoying at times but its alright for networking. For my music: http://myspace.com/jenniferpan Personal myspace: http://www.myspace.com/panjenn Honestly, not to rag on anyone who does spice up their Myspace page but its sort of annoying how those can be. I know it personalizes it and what not but for people who have ghetto computers or want to actually read someone's profile its better to have it simple as possible. I keep coming across pages that require a plug in or has some video playing or something slowing down the loading... so yeah... I'm just not a fan of it. There are a lot of times when certain peoples pages are not accessible for some reason or other. Its a nice idea and all... But definitely something needs to be fixed when pretty much every other day the site is either down or peoples pages are going under some maintenance fiasco. And the way people message on there.... its as if they copy and paste their message and send them out to everyone. Or people will try to add me as their friend when I don't even know them.  |  IP: Logged Carey Barber Expert Film Handler Posts: 143 From: Newport News, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 09-01-2005 09:11 AM                     Its kinda funny because I had never heard of 'My Space' until recently and that is because a lot of the kids here at the theater have a my space account. In fact, they have an area devoted to AMC employees. Unfortunately, a large portion of this space is devoted to talking bad about others. Both managers and other employees come under attack. It seems that the particularly evil posts are from the teenage girls talking about other girls. The managers are (usually) mature enough not to care too much about what these kids are saying but it does cause some strife among the employees. This is mostly just an annoyance, but there have been some situations where a post bordered on a threat (i.e. "I wanna kick BLANK's ass"). Also, these kids are pretty stupid to write some of the things that they do, as if no one would see it. Also, I cannot even fathom the desire to make all sorts of my personal information available to strangers. (I know this forum does that to some degree, but not like what is going on at My Space.)  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-01-2005 12:49 PM                        I don't have one, but TWO-TONE does, http://www.myspace.com/twotone101  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

I'm assuming there is some bad bad things past those links. I'll check them out as soon as I get home!  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 09-01-2005 01:26 PM                     http://www.myspace.com/lehrke Friend me up In case anyone cares: quote: News Corp.'s $580m for MySpace not good enough Not so fast, Rupert Murdoch. His $580 million takeover of MySpace parent Intermix is being met with plenty of opposition from his bought out shareholders. Apparently for some, $580 million wasn't good enough. They wanted $1 billion and have filed suit against Intermix claiming they shafted shareholders with the quick deal by undervaluing MySpace.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 09-01-2005 03:15 PM                        mine, i hope. myspace, at first, was SUPER addictive to me. but now it's kind of boring. wait, who am i kidding, it's still additctive  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-01-2005 04:27 PM                       What is it, exactly? An easy-homepage kinda thing?  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 09-01-2005 05:17 PM                        MySpace personal http://www.myspace.com/brimiwei MySpace music http://www.myspace.com/bri Yep, it's just an easy-homepage kind of thing. Add 10,000 different kinds of ways of leaving a message for someone, or a group of people. I still don't know why it's so "addictive". I mean, I log on every day, but it's just to "check my messages", no different than my main e-mail account. If ANYTHING has been left for you, a comment on a picture, your blog, your main page; a new blog by someone you subscribe to, a new invitation, a new message, etc., then a nice red, boldface tag tells you. Oh, there's instant messaging, and forum threads, and groups to join, and games. If nothing's new, you log off. WHAT'S SO ADDICTIVE? With a "band" account, you can upload your songs and people can stream them, comment on them, rank them, request you as a friend because of them ... what's so addictive about that? Apparently, NO ONE visits their own homepage; or at least no one has ever taken Basic Webdesign 101. I haven't seen so many background-image/text-color contrast issues since 1995! It's really easy ... REDUCE the contrast on your background, and then make sure your text is on the OTHER end of the luminosity scale! Simple! Auto-playing videos are annoying, only because I tend to have my OWN media player playing music, and multiple browser windows open, and the videos are nested somewhere in the HUGE column of friend comments. "ACK, where's that COLDPLAY coming from!?!" quote: Carey Barber Unfortunately, a large portion of this space is devoted to talking bad about others. I've NEVER personally seen this on MySpace. But then, I avoid the groups and forums, which is where I assume this happens. Oh, and I don't tend to add 16-18 year olds as friends (not that I get "requests" to be their friends, but still). I must go. I have to log back on to see if I have any comments on my new pictures yet! None? Oh, well, I'll check again in an hour. Addictive? Sorry for the long post. It's not like I care much about MySpace. I'M NOT ADDICTED!  |  IP: Logged Mike Williams Master Film Handler Posts: 255 From: Knoxville, TN Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-01-2005 06:44 PM                     I think it is pretty cool. I have traded emails with a few people I haven't seen since high school.... My profile can be seen here.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-01-2005 06:54 PM                        Brian, that picture is hilarious yet awesome at the same time ... because I see those type of pictures pretty much ALL the time. I should take one just like that and put it on my Myspace for kicks.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 09-02-2005 12:30 AM                        Thanks, Jen. That's a nice Sony Cybershot 3.2 megapixel camera, but I noised it up just enough to look like a medium grade webcam. It was the effect I was going for. You wouldn't believe how many "takes" it takes to look PRECISELY like something everyone does without even thinking about it. Okay, so the world now knows ... that was staged!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 09-03-2005 01:18 AM                        my myspace feel free to add me, or not, whatever...
